$1 million worth of meth seized in Riverside

LOS ANGELES 
State agents have arrested two men and seized more than $1 million worth of methamphetamine in a Southern California sting operation.

The California attorney general's office says a Department of Justice task force seized 28 pounds of meth on July 15th in Riverside.

Two men from Mexico who allegedly tried to sell the dope to an undercover agent were charged this week with transportation and sales of methamphetamine. They could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.

Authorities believe the methamphetamine was smuggled from Mexico to Yuma, Ariz., and then to Riverside.

The Inland Empire task force, made up of officers from local and state law enforcement agencies, is one of 51 statewide that may have to disband due to recent budget cuts.
